Question

Assume a mats price from the start is "X" USD. Write an expression for what the mat would cost after being reduced by P % (unknown amount of percentage)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$cost \ price = X\\Deduction = P \%\\Deduction \ Price = P \% of X = \frac{P}{100} \times X = \frac{XP}{100} \\\\Cost \ price \ after \ deduction = X -\frac{XP}{100}$

      $X - \frac{XP}{100} = X( 1 - \frac{P}{100} )$
